Learning kalarippayattu under Agasthyam has been a transformative experience for me. There was a major change in my physical health, flexibility, and endurance. But the surprising element was how the training helped me to become more centered and mindful of what I do. As the practice progressed, I could sense that I am less flustered throughout the day, more forgiving, and more at peace with myself. There was also an increase in self-confidence as my health improved. Gurukkal has structured the Nalludal program in such a way that it is accessible to anyone at any stage in their life, irrespective of prior fitness levels. The program ultimately leads to a holistic understanding of oneself. It is a journey that is both outward and inward. It is a journey to be experienced.

The potential of Kerala's own martial arts system, the curiosity it generates among youngsters, is truly amazing to me. My twin daughters are eleven and had joined kalari summer camp at Agasthyam. The change that has been brought about in them, it is not just physical. There is a tangible change psychologically even in a short span of training. So they are keen on continuing the practice. It is remarkable.

I joined 'Nalludal' programme of Agasthyam Kalari led by Dr Mahesh S. Gurukkal, six months back. Having long heard about the benefits of Kalaripayattu, I decided to explore it, when online practice could be carried out from the comforts of the home. The transformation that the Kalari did both to my body and mind, has been an eye opener. The range of physical exercises helped me to improve flexibility, stamina, balance, and above all body awareness and confidence. Apart from these advantages, the training also has a significant impact on my mental well- being. The breathing and meditation techniques aided in reducing anxiety and calming the mind. This overall improvement, motivated me to commence Kalari practices in the Kindergarten section of Saraswathi Vidyalaya senior secondary school. The tiny tots are exhibiting unbelievable transformations in terms of body posture, mental agility, heightened focus, concentration and confidence levels. We are planning to implement Kalari traning in all our educational establishments shortly. Eventhough I attend an online course, the the trainers are immensely experienced in their instructional ways and meticulous enough to pay individual attention to each and every student. One of the best decisions of my life, the Kalari has truly been a life changer.
